Fast, while loading quicker than speedtest, can hitch occasionally and give you a higher speed than you're actually getting. It might read 800mb/s one moment, then realize it was supposed to be 1gb/s, and then compensate by giving false numbers. That number approximated your gig service, you're fine.
It could be AT&T. They overprovision the circuits. A 1Gbps on Xpon will test 1300.
If the router has 1 gbps ethernet port, the max it will provide is about 940mbps. It's the PHY limit of a 1gbps NIC.
